Maybe Another Reason to wait for 04 E55!

Just annouced at the New York Auto Show (NYIAS) - The 2004 models will have the option of Sirius Satallite Radio Subcription.

There is a W211 E55 on the NYIAS floor which they reported is equipped with Sirius.

What is it?

BTW, does Comand with voice mean that we could give addresses of destination by voice?

I saw such systems in a telematics conference in Berlin about 5 years ago. They were nice.

Are you asking what is Sirius Satallite Radio?

Satallite Radio is Music from outerspace. There are 2 companys providing digital music from satallites in orbit. They are 'Sirius' and 'XM'. It is a subsciption service costing about $10 per month.

Satallite Radio can also be installed at home or added to any car by your local Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.

Sat Radio has nothing to do with Mercedes COMAND nor GPS Satallite Navigation.

Thanks Kev.

The COMAND question was a separate question. There has been so much talk of voice, I wanted to know if for MB it is what I saw in Berlin.

Here's the sales pitch from the folks at siriusradio.com:

For only $12.95 a month you get 100 streams of programming that includes 60 streams of 100% commercial-free, all original music programming in virtually every genre. You also get an additional 40 streams of world-class sports, news, and entertainment programming from the top names in the business like CNBC, FOX News, NPR, PRI, and ESPN. So what are you waiting for?
